AND SO The Class of 38 Twenty-six years after the turn of the century forty boys and girls gingerly climbed into the plane that carried them safely on the flight to education. The hesitant pupils were piloted safely through the first year by the willing and kind hand of Miss Helen West. After several forced landings and many fresh take offs, the class set its compasses straight in the fall of '34, when it entered the freshman class under the sponsorship of Mr. Ernest Stirm. During that year and the next two years these boys and girls held a flying lead in music, sports, and scholarship under the guidance of Miss Catherine Hardon and Miss Dorothy MacFadden. Arriving for the last flight, they fulfilled their place as seniors by maintaining their unlimited dignity and keeping the complacent juniors in their place. Helped during this last year by their sponsor, Miss Kathryn Geddes, they again won honors. Some of the classmates have stopped to refuel, others have sailed on with extra spurts of energy, some have been left in the fog, and all have, at some time or other, been off the course. No matter how painstaking or difficult the task that brought them back on the right flight, they have at every point gained something to make them more compatible and more competent.

Florida Martin Happy-go-lucky Florida Martin has won her place among the many for her pleasontness and cheery smile, that is the mark of dignity found within. Hilda Means Hilda Means, a bedimpled lass with dark hair and eyes, has snored many victims from the sterner sex. She is one girl who enjoys playing a good, snappy game of basketball. Hilda is one of the few who have gone to Perry High for 12 years. Sarah Otto Sarah Otto's black hair and eyes hove always been admired by her school chums. This lost year Sarah has tried many new hair styles. We have no idea os to what her future plans may be, but from observation we would say a hair stylist. Charlotte Root Charlotte Root has been one of our most brilliant students in high school. Chorlotte came to Perry High when she was a sophomore, and for three years out of four she has served us faithfully. We hope she continues to be os brilliant and faithful. Ruth Safick We have had Ruth Sofick with us for three years. She is another student that Leroy should be proud of. She may be seen at all dances, where she never lacks portners. Sophie Seitz Sophie Seitz surely hos a wide vocabulary. If you ever ask her a question, be sure to give her the high sign before she answers, because otherwise she'll go off on a tangent ond talk about the unbeknowns to anyone who hosn't augmented his vocabulary equol to Sophie's. Robert Stinchcomb Robert Stinchcomb is one of our best sport fans. He enjoys playing football ond baseball very much. This isn't the only phase of life Bob engages in. He does consult a girl about her plans for a future evening at times. Ruth Day hos had the greatest effect so far on Bob. nine
